Grunge didn't kill metal. Metal was alive and well in the early 90s. It just went underground and you had all sorts of genre defining bands like Darkthrone, Emperor, Burzum, Deicide, Dismember, etc. To be fair, you could say Industrial helped kill Grunge. Marilyn Manson and Nine Inch Nails were absolutely huge in 94-2000 (NIN still plays big arenas.)
I think a GNR album in 95/96 would have done extremely well. There was interest and hype surrounding an album and people wanted to hear what was going to come out next. Hopefully some of the ideas are still in the vault and can be heard in the future.
